-Collected Works— I have desired to go where springs not fail…       --Heaven-Haven, Gerard Manley Hopkins His being –I recall its deep sweetness: wine taken in my mouth, here opening, forever waiting, powerful caress. And easily into Him, I confess, I did fall, ever the long race running. His being –I recall its deep sweetness in every glimpse and in His very press: Strong –nature, song, future all blossoming, forever waiting, powerful caress. And each voice lifted heavenward does best in work and toil: remember Beginning! His being –I recall its deep sweetness in lashing wind and world’s most peaceful dress. Intent, I fall on mountain of living, forever waiting powerful caress. Heart’s Bastion keep me safe, one who is less; Each day then, let me turn, always yearning, forever waiting powerful caress… Your being –I recall its deep sweetness. --brian f. mccabe 12/1/98 Written December 1st, 1998 © on Dec 06 2001 09:13 PM PST   0 • 13
